Method
- Peel the parsnips and cut each into 5 hunks. Put in a large pan, totally covered with salted water and bring to the boil. Put a lid on top, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 20 minutes, then drain. They should be tender enough to slip off a small sharp knife.
- Meanwhile finely chop the spring onions and parsley. Strip the thyme leaves from the stems and set all of these aside.
- Return the parsnips to the pot with the butter, cream and seasoning. Vigorously mash and then use a hand-held beater to make them really fluffy. Finally, fold in the greens and season to serve.
